TO; Ron Phillips FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 12, 1988 SUBJECT: Primary/Secondary Duplex Connection For over a year now, the Community Development Department, the Design Review Board, the Planning Commission and the Town Council have been involved in discussions regarding the required connection of dwelling units in Primary/Secondary and Duplex zone districts as stated in the Design Guidelines. Section 18.54.050 C. 13 of the Municipal Code requires that Duplex and Primary/Secondary residential dwelling units shall be designed in a manner that contains the two dwelling units and garages within one single structure. This section goes on to allow a~physical separation of the dwelling units in the event of the presence of significant site characteristics which necessitate this type of design. The exact wording of this section is included with this memorandum as an appendix. In the fall of 1986, the Town Council overturned a Design Review Board denial of a primary/secondary residence. The members of the Town Council felt that the Design Review Board was technically correct in their interpretation of the Design Guidelines, however they felt that the proposed design was appropriate for the Vail community. The Town Council instructed the staff to investigate possibilities of amending Section 18.54.050. C. 13. In December of 1986, the Town Council reviewed a list of options presented by the staff. The Town Council selected an option entitled, ~~Option A," which entailed eliminating the requirement for a physical connection and strengthening the requirement for a visual connection through compatible design. In February of 1987, the Town Council and Design Review Board held a joint work session. The direction to the staff as a result of that meeting was to continue work on Option A. In early June of 1987, Option A was drafted as legislative language and submitted to the Planning and Environmental Commission as amendment to the Municipal Code. The Planning Commission, as a majority, felt that the existing language of Section 18.54.050.0.13 was appropriate and did not require any revision. The staff felt, however, that the Council direction at that time was to continue with the process of amending that section and therefore encouraged the Planning Commission to review the proposed language. The Planning and Environmental Commission did approve revised legislative language and passed that recommendation on to the Town Council. The Town Attorney reviewed the proposed wording of the revised section of the Design Consideration: that the Planning Commission was recommending to Town Council. The Town Attorney at that point, advised the staff th~~t the PEC language was not appropriate legislative language an<i recommended that the Town Council review the original revision of Option A which was presented to the Planning Commission. In late June of 1987, the Town Coun<;il at first reading of Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1987, rE~jected the proposed legislative wording of Option A and questioned the need for changing the existing language. The Town staff at that point, ceased to continue working on this ~>roject. In December of 1987, members of Town Council requested that the issue of the required physical and Duplex residences. the Design Review Board and stai:f continue to research the connE:ction of Primary/Secondary The staff is asking that the Town Council, Planning Commission and Design Review Board discuss thi~~ matter at an upcoming work session. I • a. a Design Review Board Discussion of Primary Secondary Connection December 17, 1986 Agenda I. EXISTING WORDING CONCERNING THE PRIM/SEC. CONNECTION: 18.54.050 C13. Duplex and Primary/Secondary Residential dwelling units shall be designed in ~~ manner that contains the two dwelling units and garages w=ithin one single structure. However, in the event th=:t the presence of significant site characteristics necE~ssitate a site design which includes a physical separation of the two dwelling units and/or garages into separate structures, the DRB may approve the design. Such a design magi be approved only when the separate structures are visually attached by means of the use of similar and compatible architE~ctural design, colors, and materials and/or physically connf~cted with fences, walls, decks or other similar architectural features.

" ~ ,~ ~_ t C TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: June 22, 1987 SUBJECT: Amendment to Section 18.54.050 C.13, Section 18.12.090 and Section 18.13.080 of the Municipal Code (Primary/Secondary Connection) Earlier this year, the Town Council, the Design Review Board and the Town staff met in a work session to discuss the existing wording of Section 18.54.050 C. 13 of the Vail Municipal Code, which concerns the requirement for physical connection in the design of primary/secondary and duplex units. That existing wording concerning the primary/secondary and duplex connection in the Design Review Guidelines currently reads as follows: Section 18.54.050 C. 13. Duplex and Primary/Secondary Residential dwelling units shall be designed in a manner that contains the two dwelling units and garages within one single structure. However, in the event that the presence of significant site characteristics necessitate a site design which includes a physical separation of the two dwelling units and/or garages into separate structures, the DRB may approve the design. Such a design may be approved only when the separate structures are visually attached by means of the use of similar and compatible architectural design, colors, and materials and/or physically connected with fences, walls, decks or other similar architectural features. At the first work session in December, the staff presented several possible options for rewriting and amending this section of the Design Review Guidelines. After much discussion of the pros and cons of both options and discussion relating to what specifically the guidelines were trying to accomplish, the Council gave direction to the staff to refine and re-present the basic concept that was presented under the Option A. That Option A as presented at the work session read as follows: Option A. Rewrite Section 18.54.050 C.l to eliminate the requirement for a physical connection of the units, and at the same time strengthen and clarify the design criteria which would be required in order to create a visual connection. This criteria could include a unified landscape plan for the entire lot, utilization of one road cut, compatible C materials such as siding, roofing, trim, stonework, roof forms, color schemes, balcony styles, window treatments, etc. This option would have completely eliminated requirements for a physical connection, thus allowing maximum flexibility in siting the units, in creating the scale of the units, and in creating spaces between the units. The design criteria would serve to unify the development on the site. There is concern on the part of the staff that this option could allow for development that would create the appearance of two separate single family dwellings on separate pieces of property, especially on less vegetated sites. This creates the visual appearance of density over and above that of the low density zoning. The staff rewrote this section of the Design Review regulations in the spirit and concept of the above option. This wording was reviewed with the Council at a work session in April and basically agreed upon. This wording would read as follows: 18.54.050. C. 13 (New draft) C Duplex and primary/secondary residential dwelling units shall be designed in such a manner to create a unified site development. Unified site development shall require the use of similar and compatible architectural design. This includes materials (siding, roofing, trim, stone), roof forms, architectural style, balcony and window treatments, railings and other design elements. The unified site development shall include a coordinated landscape and grading plan that creates a visual appearance of a single development project. Common areas such as courtyards are encouraged to unify site development. The intent of this section is to avoid the appearance of two unrelated dwellings on one duplex or primary/secondary lot. The design of units as a single structure, and the utilization of a single road cut is encouraged. The amendment to Section 18.54.050 C 13 of the Municipal Code will require an amendment to two other related sections of the code. The Density Control sections of both the Two Family Residential and Residential Primary/Secondary Zone Districts state that: "Not more than a total of two dwelling units in a single structure shall be permitted on each site..." Section 18.12.090 and Section 18.13.080 of the Municipal Code should be amended by deleting the phrase "in a single structure." t >... _ • , .~ r` ,- STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The intent of the Council, Design Review Board and the staff is to create this guideline in such a manner that it will enable more freedom of design and siting of structures in development of primary/secondary and duplex residences. The concern of the parties involved is to maintain the ability to ensure that development is occuring in the spirit of the primary/secondary and duplex nature and is not an abuse of the zoning and subdivision regulations by creating separate and unrelated single family structures on duplex lots. The staff feels that this proposed amendment satisfies our intent while recognizing the concerns. We recommend approval of this request as written. The Design Review Board has reviewed the proposed wording and is in substantial agreement. They did request the staff to investigate the possibility of addressing the issue of adding a unit to existing development. Our attempts at addressing this issue have created awkward wording. The staff feels this issue is best addressed by applying the design criteria proposed in the amendment. tawo of uai 75 south frontage road vail, Colorado 81657 (303) 476-7000 office of community development TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE June 24, 1987 SUBJECT: Primary/Secondary Connection The following paragraph is a transcript of the final legisla- tive wording as devised during our 6/22 meeting. This wording will replace the existing Section 18.54.050.0.13 of the Municipal Code. Duplex and primary/secondary structures are encouraged to be in one structure. However, if the relationship of mass of the building to the size of the site is within appro- priate scale and a unified site plan for the entire lot is proposed, the DRB may consider the separation of structures. The intent of this section is to avoid the appearance of two unrelated dwellings on one duplex or primary/secondary lot. Unified site development shall require the use of similar and compatible architectural design. This includes materials (siding, roofing, trim, stone), roof forms, architectural style, balcony and window treatments, railings and other design elements. The unified site development shall include a coordinated landscape and grading plan that creates a visual appearance of a single development project. Common elements of linkage such as courtyards, common entries and walkways are encouraged to unify site development. The design of units as a single structure and the utilization of a single road cut is encouraged. If there are concerns regarding this language, please contact Rick Pylman at your earliest convenience. ~,. • i' ORDINANCE N0. 22 Series of 1987 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 18.54.050 C.13, SECTION 18.12.090, AND SECTION 18.13.180 OF THE VAIL MUNICIPAL CODE TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT THAT DUPLEX AND PRIMARY/SECONDARY DWELLING UNITS BE ATTACHED; PROVIDING FOR UNIFIED SITE DEVELOPMENT OF DUPLEX AND PRIMARY/SECONDARY RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN REGARD THERETO.

This program within the Chamber would give the Town of Vail the opportunity to be involved with business leaders of Denver who have great influence over the outcome of future events affecting Denver and, in many -cases, much of Colorado.

The top leadership of the business community gather with other civic and com- munity leaders to exchange candid. views about key issues facing the Denver metropolitan area. Leadership Roundtable is comprised of more than 300 chief executive officers from businesses of all sizes who invest $1,000 or more annually in the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce. Participation is limited to the top company official serving as the firm's represen- tative in order to ensure that discussion within the Roundtable is among peers. Of course, other areas of Chamber involvement are open to interested employees of member firms. Leadership Roundtable is not afund-raising group, nor does it require any additional time outside of the special Roundtable events an executive selects to attend. The purpose of the Roundtable is to provide an opportunity for top business leaders to discuss - in open and frank conversation -what needs to be done to improve the future of our metropolitan area. Leadership Roundtable members may take advantage of the following: •Discussions with political and business leaders in our community •Quarterly gatherings with local and nationally recognized speakers •Inside Report - a weekly commentary on current issues by the Chamber president and a schedule of Chamber activities •"By invitation only" special receptions •Briefings on new community projects and public/private sector partnerships For upcoming meeting schedules or details on how to participate in Leadership Roundtable, contact Lti~nette Murphy, Manager for State/Local Affairs, or Robin Wise, Vice President for Membership/Resource Development, at the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce at 534-3211. f~9 , i I.EAU=i~SHIP ROt~t#aTA9LE C1tt-'hs;I:" Fire ?laE~?

Receipt of this petition, in fact, suspends the current ordinance as approved in November of 1987. Therefore, ,submittal of business license fees can now be handled in one. of the following ways: 1. If you have already paid your 1988 fees, arefurid will be .made upon either verbal or written request from you. 2. If you had submitted fees, but these had not been deposited with the Town of Vail, and therefore your check is hereby attached, I am returning your check to you- at this time. If you wish to pay these fees now, simp`iy return the check to my office. 3. If you had already paid your 1988 fees. in T987, and prefer to leave these fees with the Town of Vail, you may certainly do so, although the Town of Vail .will not be paying interest on these fees submitted. I apologize for any inconvenience to you and appreciate EXCEEDINGLY your timely submittal of both the Business License Application and fees. Currently, it would appear the Council will review the referendum petition at their regularly scheduled evening meeting on January 19, 1988, and at that time it will be determined whether the Council will repeal Ordinance #39, Series of 1987, or whether this issue will go to a vote. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Steve Thompson at the Town of Vail. Again, we appreciate your patience with this process. 1 ~~U-~ - ' ~. ~~~~~Y.~~~L~ j 1 _ 1' _ . :., 12/24/1987 Chief Ken Hughey Vail Police Dept. ~ - _Vail, Colo. 81657 - _~, ~: ,. ;. Dear Chief Hughey On the evening of Dec. 22 my wife was driving down the - ~,; highway on her way to Eagle Vail when she had a flat tire. She started to walk for help when Officer Rod Baker stopped - '4 at her car to see if he could help. With officer Bakers assistance she was able to contact me and I was able to get to the car to try and get it off .the high- =~_ way. Although I could not get it going and we had to call a tow-truck officer Baker stayed with us and kept the traffic directed all the time. I am just very grateful for his assistance and also the way he treated us. He was very nice and put everybody at ease and I think went out of his way to be of service. I have lived in Vail for twenty years and it is very nice to know that there are men like Rod on our police force. I hope .that he knows that people are very thankful for that type of police work even though most times they never say i_t. . ,_ My congratulations to you on the caliber of police officers on the Vail force. I hope they continue to do that type of service. Yours truly, William (Robby) Robinson 0 ®~ m Q ~~ c ~ ~ ~ T ~.

It is planned by Albert Berglund Jr., an Illinois businessman who owns 20 acres on the North Arm. The citizens' group, called Preserve the Burntside Spirit, has (62 mem- bers, including landowners on Burnt- side and people who use one of the three YMCA camps on the ]0,200- acre lake. They are suing the Forest Service because it has approved Berg- lund's request for a land exchange that he says is needed for his uevel- opment. He will provide the Forest Service with a 160-acre tract that he owns ;along the Echo Trail northwest of Burntside. In return, Berglund will get a 58-acre parcel of federal land next to his development site. Federal law requires that such exchanges in- volve property of equal value. The parcel that the Forest Service will receive from Berglund is on the Moose River astride a popular canoe route that connects two chunks of the BWCA divided by the Echo Trail. Gary Lidholm, a Forest Service spokesman, said Thursday that the agency believes that the land ex- change "is fair and in the public interest." He noted that the exchange has been approved by all levels of the Forest Service and by its parent agen- cy, the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture. Both parcels involved to the exchange are outside the BWCA but within the Superior National Forest. They also are within the Mining Pro- tection Are ;, a 220,000-acre buffer Lake plan continued on page 2B ~~M ~ Q 'C MIl~1~S RDC~TIAR ME~TIl1G VAIL MEII2OPOLZ*I~N RFQ~CN DISZRZCT ~IBFEt 10, 1987 CALL 21D ORDF.12: E~TiZVE SESSION: API~ROVAL OF NIINCTI~S: ~f_JppLFMFNi*AT APPROPRIA- TION, IATION ~P FUND: Bob Ruder, George Knox, Merv Lapin, Gail Molloy Tim Garton Pat Dodson, Steve Thar~son The meeting was called to order at 3:30 PM The Board meet at 2 PM to discuss personnel matters. Molloy made a motion to approve the minutes from November 19, 1987, second by Knox, passed unanimously. Thompson joins meeting. Thompson explained since VMRD budget stated $8,000 and in fact we received $9,510 from the lottery a supplemental appropriation is necessary to spend the extra funds received. Knox moved to approve the supplemental appropriation, second by Molloy, passed unanimously. SLEIGH RIDE AC~ft~r: Steve Jones joins the meeting. Ruder asked if he had any problems with the way the contract is written. Jones indicated he did not. Dodson indicated Jones paid $1,000 for the track setter for the 1986/87 year and will also pay $1,000 today upon the signing of this agreement. This will leave three not four payments left as indicated by the Contract. The Board indicated they would like to add to P. 4 that the horses stabled at the temporary barn on the sixteenth fairway be "subject to annual .approval." Molloy moved to approve the 1987/88 sleigh ride agreement with a change to P. 4 as stated above second by Lapin, passed unanimously. Knox made a motion to revise P. 9 to state "three remaining payment" for the track setter not four, second by Molloy, passed unanimously. Note: Jones paid $1,000 for the track setter and $5,000 for the security deposit. He also gave a letter to VMRD from Satch's Restaurant granting their permission for Jones to operate a sleigh ride operation on the golf course. DCXIATIONS: VAIL CRASS TRAINING CAMP: Jim Davis joins the meeting. Dodson gave the board a hand out regarding 1987 and 1988's camp (see attached) and reviewed it with the Board. Davis stated he needs $3,400 now to start printing of the brochures, mailing and marketing. Lapin moved to give the Vail Cross Training Camp $3,400 and the first profit up to $2,000 shall be paid 100% to VME2D and any additional profit will be split. 50/50% with VNmD and Vail Cross Training Camp, Second by Knox, passed unanimously. The Board agreed to pay the $3,400 after an agreement is drawn up by Collins and as late in 1988 as possible. GOLD PFAR TIIa]IS ~5: Dodson read some notes from a meeting between VA and VMRD held December 2, 1987 (see attached). Dodson indicated Joe Masey, VA had just called and indicated he would not be at this meeting. VMRD had no further discussion on this matter until they hear some response from VA regarding their proposal. o06'T OF LIV.IIdG INfCREASE: Dodson indicated the board needs to decide on a cost of living increase for the four full-time VMRD employees. Lapin stated the Board should choose 1 CPI - either Denver of National. The trend for the last 15 years has been that Denver is higher. Currently it is not. The Board should establish a policy on which index to use. The Board chose to keep the 3 full-time employees in the Town system. Dodson will gather facts on Krueger so the Board can determine weather to put him in the Town system or put him on an independent VMRD system. SWI<'M~G POOL: Tabled since Garton is absent. ~: Satterstram joins meeting. Satterstr-om stated the Board needs to establish a pre and post season rate which could boost the budget nwnbers . Mike Beckley of VA asked Satterstrom if they could use the red ranger golf cart in this Sunday's parade. The Board said OK. Satterstrom stated since the golf course opened early and closed last (April 12 to November 10) he would like to be comp~a~sated for the extra hours. Molloy pointed out that his contract runs from January to December so no further payment will be granted. Jerry Ford Invitational. They will once again use the Vail Golf Club.

CON1'INENT.4E7~~l;AKY 19tsri / -17 PROFILE (continued from page 47) The acquisition makes the Gillett Group the largest operator of affiliate stations after the networks, with cov- erage of about 13 percent of the na- tional television audience. But then, typically, Gillett paused and inter- rupted himself. "Hey, are you having fun?" he asked. "I mean, what are you going to do with your life? Me? I've solved that problem. I can't always tell you what I'm doing next week, but tomorrow afternoon, 12:30, I'll be out on the links with Jerry Ford. " A tireless, inventive deal-maker, . Gillett is open for business 24 hours a day. But perhaps his greatest gift is talk. Over the past decade he has par- layed an inspirational management style and a vast network of contacts into one of the country's most success- ful private companies, which, among other holdings, now owns a large meat- packing plant, the Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts in Colorado, and 17 local television stations. The Gillett Group generated $90 million in operat- ing profits in 1986 on net revenues of $670 million. In 1987, with the Storer acquisition thrown in, Gillett's various properties generated revenues of $1 billion. Now, at 47, he is establishing a new direction for his burgeoning broadcast group. Except for the possibility of trading up to larger markets, he is shift- ing his focus away from acquisitions to concentrate more heavily on operating the empire he has amassed. Although he had briefly owned radio outlets and small-market UHF televi- sion stations before, Gillett was practi- callyunknown when he began to invest seriously in broadcasting six years ago. Like many others drawn to the indus- try during the freewheeling, deregula- toryperiod fostered by the Reagan-era FCC, he found the field too attractive to resist. "The characteristics of television are so attractive to an entrepreneur that it's a business you've just got to be in, " says Gillett. "It's non-capital and non- labor intensive, and it has an inherent consumer franchise. Television re- sponds well to promotion, and it's highly liquid. If you enter the game with virtually no money and. want to build something of value, there's no better business in America. " To broadcasters and other investors who have come up against him-both NBC and Group W were interested in the Storer stations-Gillett's deal- making prowess is enviable. Because his company is private, he can act quickly and bid sky-high, avoiding the inconvenience of justifying decisions to shareholders and directors. And he of- ten gains an edge by sweetening his CONTINENTAL/JANUARY 1988 / 6Z PROFILE deals with generous tax-deferral and accounting provisions. Gillett's deals have become increas- ingly complex. He started in 1981 by snapping up Nashville's NBC affiliate, WSMV-TV, in exchange for $42 million in notes. Over the next three years he used traditional bank loans and cash flow from his other properties to buy solid but hardly spectacular affiliates in smaller markets, including ones in Rochester, New York; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Then, in 1986, he teamed up with junk bond king Michael Milken of Drexel Burnham Lambert, raising over THE TRADE SHOW BOOTH WITH THE CUSTOM LOOK .. . THE PORTABLE PRO.

Flush with capital from Drexel and other financing, Gillett went on an ac- quisitionbinge, picking up 12 stations in as many months, as he mopped up in the wake of several liquidations and mer- gers sweeping through the industry. To many observers, however, his acquisitive march has left behind un- comfortable overtones. In one transac- tion, last spring, Gillett purchased his Tampa station from Gaylord Broad- casting in partnership with his former communications attorney, Clarence McKee, who is black. As a result, Gay- lord will receive valuable tax-deferral certificates under FCC rules encourag- ing the sale of stations to minorities, even though McKee put no equity into the deal and can cash out for $1 million and turn the station completely back to Gillett after two years. Nevertheless, the FCC approved the station transfer in June. By Gillett's own estimate, the arrangement saved about $135 million off the station's purchase price, roughly the value of the tax benefits to Gaylord. In another questionable deal, a year earlier, Gillett decided to spin off five of his smaller stations into a separate group that will be held in trust for his four children in order to comply with FCC rules limiting a single owner to 12 stations. The trust will be operated in- dependently of his other stations by Lawrence Busse, the former president of the Gillett Group's broadcasting divi- sion-an arrangement that Gillett calls "prudent estate planning" despite its appearance of skirting the FCC's 12- station rule. These transactions only seem to have added to the Gillett mystique, part of which stems from his evident abilities as a station operator. By in- vesting heavily in news operations and quickly improving advertising sales, his stations usually climb to number one or two in their markets. A great deal of Gillett's appeal also derives from his bold vision of where he's going, and his immense appetite for risk. Gillett was raised in Racine, Wiscon- `'1 • Cusfom•look portable display. • Super lightweight construction. • Fasf one•person set-up and take-down. • Versatile, eye-catching graphics. • Color coordinated with your company colors. • Ships as airline baggage or UPS. • Quality built ...because if's a pro/essional. PROFILE sin, the son of a prominent surgeon. His later ambition seems to have been the product of a classic contradiction between his own and his parents' ex- pectations. His father rose before dawn and worked hard all day, drilling into his son the Calvinist values of disci- pline and community service. His mother was the daughter of a Milwau- kee investor who was ruined in the stock market crash of 1929. She was forced to leave college and work to support the family, and her memories of that experience caused her to worry constantly about her own. children's security. By the time she died in 1980, Gillett was a millionaire many times over, yet she still had diffi- culty appreciating her son's success. After high school, Gillett was sent off to Amherst College in Massachu- setts, where he distinguished himself in every respect except academically. Scrupulously avoiding his courses, he mastered tournament bridge and chased the Smith and Mount Holyoke women until, in the middle of his senior year, a disgusted George Gillett Sr. called him home. The younger Gillett finished up at Dominican College in Ra- cine, supporting himself with a night job as a quality inspector on the American Motors line in Kenosha. He spent the next six years working in sales for Crown Zellerbach and as a consultant with McKinsey & Co. In 1966, anxious for a business of his own, Gillett invested in the Miami Dol- phins and became the team's business manager. In 1968, with two partners, he bought the Harlem Globetrotters from founder Abe Saperstein. By the late 1960's, attendance at the Globetrotters' road shows had begun to fall off, and Gillett decided that he had to create a new market for the team among younger audiences. One day he was driving through the Holly- wood canyons with a young CBS pro- gramming executive named Fred Silverman, who was interested in de- veloping ashow around the Globetrot- ters. They decided to create a cartoon show, using the Globetrotters' players as the basis for animated characters. Hanna-Barbera produced the show, and when The Harlem Globetrotters ap- peared on CBS's Saturday morning schedule in 1970, it was an immediate hit. The Globetrotters' audiences be- gan pouring back into the arenas.

"George is the most unstructured person I have ever met, "says Karrels. "He can't tell you whether we're going to be eating in Miami or Nashville to- night, because the plane hasn't landed yet. I'm quite different, very detail ori- ented and structured. That's the bal- ance, and it works. " Their first deal was a string of three UHF television stations in small mar- kets: Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Bakersfield, Califor- nia, which Gillett bought in 1978 for $6 million. In 1984, as he prepared for his run on larger markets, the three sta- tions were sold for $16 million. Gillett's most dramatic company turnaround began in 1978, when he took over a failing beef plant in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Packerland Pack- ing Co. At the time, the beef industry was mired in recession. After inten- sively researching the industry, Gillett shifted the company's focus toward production of lean, low-cholesterol beef, eventually becoming the first company to win Food and Drug Administration approval fora "light" beef classification. Packerland's sales soared, providing Gillett with a steady source of cash for acquisitions else- where. Elsewhere has been principally in broadcasting. One spring morning in 1981, Gillett ripped a small article out of The Wall StreetJournal and tossed it to Karrels. It described the bidding then under way for Nashville's top- rated affiliate, WSMV-TV, which was being sold by its original owner, the National Life Insurance Co. They im- mediately contacted National Life's in- vestment bankers in New York and flew down to Nashville two days later. Gillett arrived late in the game, but he was one of the few bidders willing to meet a firm condition laid down by Na- tional Life: It wanted the buyer to move to Nashville and operate the station lo- cally. "Everybody else down there was i 64 /CONTINENTAL/JANUARY 1988 PROFILE tallying a cash deal, never realizing that the last thing an insurance company needs is cash, "recalls Gillett. He con- vinced National Life that it would real- ize ahigher rate of return and save on taxes by simply giving him the station in exchange for $42 million in notes backed by letters of credit. It vas an outstanding deal for Gillett. But to many Wall Street analysts, un- aware of the huge run-up in station val- ues that was about to transform the industry, the purchase price-at 21 times earnings-seemed excessive. Today, with the station valued at well over $180 million, Gillett has enjoyed the last laugh.

Since purchasing the mountain, and neighboring Beaver Creek, in 1985, Gillett has been outfrontin the resorts' $40 million expansion pro- gram. The two have added five high- speed quadruple chair lifts, the larg- estsuchnetwork inthe world.

"Karl Eller [of Combined Com- munications] told me once, 'George, every station I ever bought, people told me the price was crazy. Two years later they'd call me back and tell me I'd stolen it.' " "I'll never forget that first week George showed up at SMV,"says Bob Selwyn, then the station's news direc- tor and now president of Gillett Broad- castingServices.

But his real genius is people. You don't see a lot of Harvard M.B.A.'s and journalism majors around here. Probably because George's own background is unusual, he has this amazing tolerance for peo- ple who arrived at their jobs by unpre- dictable routes. Then he confronts them with his energy and literally com- pels them to overachieve. " WSMV's most pressing problem was that its time was not being sold very well. General manager Mike Ket- tenring and Gillett quickly remedied this by the group's now-trademark sat- uration research and "close-to-cus- tomer" sales approach. Between 1980 and 1986, WSMV's operating cash flow increased from $2 million to $11.2 mil- lion-compound growth of 33 percent, Gillett began maneuvering for his biggest prize-the Storer stations- severalyears ago. He had known Peter Storer; the chairman of Storer Com- munications, since the late 1970's. In 1984, he heard that investors were ac- cumulating the broadcaster's stock, and told Storer that he'd be interested in stepping in as a white knight. Then, in March of 1985, the Conniston Part- ners of New York bought a huge block of stock, eventually driving the com- pany into the hands of rival bidder KKR. But that firm's deal to sell the Storer TV stations to Lorimar-Telepic- tures fell apart in the fall of 1986. Gillett was also a friend of KKR part- nerHenry Kravis, whom he'd met ski- ing at Vail. When Kravis first began ne- gotiating for Storer in 1985, they had discussed the possibility of Gillett's buying 50 percent of the stations, but the entrepreneur dropped out as the price climbed. He was in and out of the negotiations over the next year. After the Lorimar deal collapsed, he and Kravis met again and finally reached a firm deal. The structure of the final Storer deal is unique in broadcasting, and basically gives Gillett operating authority over 66 /CONTINENTAL/JANUARY 1988 PROFILE the stations while protecting him from much of the financial risk. A new entity, SCI Television Inc., owns the six sta- tions. Gillett owns 51 percent of SCI, runs the stations, and collects a man- agement fee, while KKR owns 49 per- cent. Both parties have put in $100 million in equity. The remaining $1.1 billion was to be financed by $600 mil- lion in bank loans and $550 million in junk bonds and notes, most of which will pay no interest for seven years. Gillett paid about $200 million less for the six Storer stations than Lorimar originally negotiated. His strategy is to improve the trou- bledStorer stations, then refinance his debt based on their improved value. That has always worked in the past, but largely because the stations he's bought were either relatively easy turnarounds or were already on the way back up. He may not be that lucky in such Storer markets as Atlanta and Detroit, where he'll be competing against strong stations owned by Gannett, Post-Newsweek, and Scripps Howard. Gillett isn't worried. "If I listened to the worrywarts, I never would have done Packerland or SMV or Vail. I bet you we'll catch a real wave with those Storer stations. Besides, nothing im- portant in life comes without risks." ^ Solution to Crossword Puzzle 0 0 0 0 ooo n ©. © a a © o n o t~ aoo o na o n o o n a n o... nna © Q= © n n © o o o oana o ©© © o o © o a © ©o on o v © o o © v o n © n © m o © oa: oa nr~ ©v a ©~-: a © n o o o o n n o o o © v © a ©©i' va n © o o © © ©oo©o aa a o-- ~ o o o noa©~ ©o o © © © v o a o Q-©ao o© a n © v © n m o van ©a a o © © o v a © ©©o o© a © © © S~~~a ~ d ` ~ .I a r ~- per' mom per _ i ` night, 1 [people- ;~; Closest hotel to airport! ~ ~ ~ ~ Just off I-70 at Quebec St. Exit ,~ ~ . i . ! - ~. ~ ~.

As we concluded on Friday afternoon: 1. Heritage will agree to an increase in franc~hisa fee in the town of Vail, concurrent with our renewed franchise agreement, from 3 percent of gross revenue as therein defined to 5 percent of grosst revenue with the additional 2 percart to be earmarked for~VCTV. In addition we will jointly seek an amendment to the existing Avon and Minturn franchises to increase their franchise fe• to 3 percent for the same purpose. Heritages Support of thcs• amendments ig limited to amending franchise tea percentages only. Heritage will also voluntarily commit 2 percent of the basic service revenue Prom all areas starved in Eagle County outside of the throe incorporated towns to VCTV for its operating budget. A11 fees would be paid within 45 days of the and of each quarter. The 2 percent was calculated in our 1988 rate structure and would not ba added on to the present rate or treated as a separatB pass through. we also will pay on all revenue retroactively to January 1, 1988. Wa a$timAta: the above forzaula will produce approximately $44,000 in revenue for VCTV in calendar year 1988. 2. separate from, and in addition to the revenue generated from the franchise fees above Herfta a will fund a grant to the VCTV ~n the form o~ paying aI1 lease expanse, common area fees and required f.nsuzance on the present studio tspacef or in lieu of the above and JhPa 11 '._; 11 ~ 1'a HEF'ITH~:~E i_i._:if'1P't.

VCTV will use its existing fund deposited with the Town of Vail and the 2 percent franchise fee revenu®s plus any lease abatement payments as an o orating budget. vCTV will take respona~bility far all repair, maintenance, equiipm~nt replacement and operating $xpenses for locally produced or originated programming and will oversee programming on the designated public access channe], an the Vail walla cable TV system.
